"Hawthorn Woods turned out to be an outstanding golf course that fit quite well into the naturally rolling terrain of Lake County.  Not only were we able to preserve the entire native wetland habitat on site, we successfully incorporated these wetlands into the strategy of the golf holes.  I think golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the results."  Arnold Palmer

 

 

Mention legendary golfer and world renowned architect Arnold Palmer and words such as bold, daring, and courageous come to mind.  Palmer has infused these attributes of himself into the design of Hawthorn Woods. 

 

Set amid the rolling countryside of Lake County, Palmer has seamlessly blended features such as streams, lakes, elevation changes, and mature trees to create a golf experience worthy of being called an Arnold Palmer Signature course.  Hawthorn Woods stretches to 7,100 yards from the championship tees and incorporates bent grass greens and fairways affording our members the finest playing surfaces possible.

Like Palmer himself, Hawthorn Woods will ignite your senses and raise your expectations of golf in the Chicago area to new and exciting levels.

Come see why the Illinois Open Championship has been played at Hawthorn Woods Country Club the last two years.
